- Let me start out by saying that the memory fades. If I forgot one or five or
- twenty people's contributions while I was typing this, I humbly beg forgive-
- ness. For that matter, I'm sure I will think of several people while trying
- to get to sleep tonight.
-
- Even knowing I'll make this errors of omission, I absolutely must plow on and
- give thanks to key players in the BinkleyTerm 2.60 effort:
-
- One person really stands out: Bob Juge. While I was essentially on sabbatical,
- he just stayed on and on and on as BinkleyTerm help, calling me occasionally
- to ask the odd question. When I ramped back up last year he helped with
- the coordination and provided a point of contact for the documentation guys.
- Then, when I ran out of time and couldn't finish before having to get back
- into death-march mode at work, he stuck by and waited. His help down the
- final home stretch was critical, including doing the actual builds of the
- OS/2 version and personally coordinating the OS/2 testing.
-
- Everyone else I'll try to handle more or less chronologically. Bear with me,
- this covers over 4 1/2 years. Many of you may not even have heard of these
- folk, it has been so long:
-
- Bill Andrus, for his long hours keeping the OS/2 version going, and his help
- in merging in Michael Buenter's work (more on that in a moment).
-
- Peter Fitzsimmons, for some great tweaking of the OS/2 communications code
- and his MAXCOMM DLL for OS/2.
-
- Tobias Burchhardt, for his implementation of EMSI for BinkleyTerm.
-
- Ron Bemis, for the forcexit and extern spawn idea and initial implementation.
-
- Scott Dudley, for miscellaneous help, including fixes to password checking.
-
- Michael Buenter, for his work in Bink EE, much of which was incorporated
- into the main codebase. Also, for working with the Linux port effort while
- that was happening. His EE work included MAXFILES.IDX support, cost logging,
- 32-bit support, the zoomed outbound, and a bunch of other great stuff.
-
- Holger Schurig, for his cost logging work. It was his stuff that Michael
- contributed.
-
- Bob Davis and Barrie Smith, for doing an incredible amount of work on the
- updated BinkleyTerm documentation that you will soon get to see!
-
- Louis Lagendijk, for the collaboration that nearly led to a Linux port of
- the "mainline" code.
-
- Ray Gwinn, for his SIOCOMM stuff on OS/2, as well as his cooperation and
- help in defining support for extended baud rates in FOSSIL.
-
- Arjen Lentz, for his implementation of Hydra for DOS and OS/2 Bink.
-
- Jim Dailey, for coming along and carrying the OS/2 effort for the past year.
- Also, adding some neat things like alternate number dialing, scrolling
- recent activity window, and other cool stuff.
-
- Bryan Woodruff, for adding WinFOSSIL support.
-
- All my beta testers, who had to weather my nonresponsiveness just like Bob.
-
-
- Thanks to everyone who helped. That means just about everyone!
